The few typical coating materials used in Exterior and Interior wall panels, flooring, roof, wet floor, wet areas, Light Steel Panel System are gypsum board, magnesium (cement-based board) board, concrete board, OSB and membrane.
Selection of insulation material for Light Steel Structures is an important design step. Industrial insulation materials, gypsum boards, rock wool, glass wool, membranes, EPS etc. are used to meet fire, acoustic and thermal insulation requirements. All insulation materials must have performance values specific to approved quality standards.
Mezzanine floors consist of beams or a flat cassette system. Appropriate Mild Steel section is selected according to structural calculations. Flooring is usually made with covering material or a combination of lightweight concrete and trapezoidal sheet.
Foundation design for Light Steel Structures should be done as in all other types of construction. The low weight of light steel buildings enables foundations to be built in lower volume.
Steel is a material with proven durability. As with all other systems, Light Steel Panels also undergo structural analysis during the design phase and appropriate sections should be selected to provide the necessary strength against applied pressure, tensile forces and bending moments.
In some multi-storey light steel buildings, the structure must be designed to prevent accidental damage to structural members and the resulting disproportionate collapse. Requirements of relevant codes, standards and regulations will be discussed.
Air tightness is ensured by the selection of suitable construction materials and the application of solid construction details.
In the Light Steel Panel System, suitable membranes and construction/ventilation details should be used to prevent the formation of condensation.
There are various types of hydraulic stations that process different diameters of service holes on Arkitech Panel Machines. During the modeling phase, appropriate service hole sizes and locations should be defined in accordance with MEP mounting requirements.
